Gerrard threatened
Steven Gerrard's father has said he turned to an underworld "fixer" to stop a gangster from terrorising his son and threatening to shoot him in the legs.
The information was in a letter Mr Gerrard wrote to a court where the fixer, John Kinsella, denies being part of a gang involved in a robbery.
Gerrard's father, Paul, said the Liverpool captain's car had been smashed up and he was chased home from training.
He said it was after he asked Kinsella for help that the trouble stopped.
